From what I understand, Windows 10 has indeed tightened up the permissions so that it is much more difficult, if it is possible at all, to do certain things to various parts of the system, even if you are the administrator. Just one more reason that I don't like Windows 10.

The reason for the makecab error is because insted generates a ddf file (in insted right click cab and choose show ddf) that it uses with makecab to rebuild installer (makecab /f filename.ddf,) if your hdd/os does not support 8.3 filenames this will fail

Here is something you guys might find useful, Its a must have if you are into driverpack making and it comes with InstallShield (used to extract drivers/files from installers with data1.cab/hdr packages created with InstallShield)
Here is my SendTo style installer, I extracted the files from InstallShield 2018 SP1 (may also require Visual C++ Runtimes)

How to use:
You have to download the Java 9/10 setup(s) from here (x64) | mirror x64 | mirror x64 | mirror x86 .
- Extract the archive in a work folder with no space in the path.
- Copy the setup(s) in the "JRE_setups" folder
- Launch "_JAVA_Multi_Maker.cmd".

Download function may return when Java 9 will be on the official download page.

Tested on Windows 7 & 10 x64, everything works as intended.
Please test and report how it works for you.

------------------------------------

Current version (for Java 8u73 and newer) (could work on XP if you use a custom build of aria2)

MD5: 7716dddd8c576f0d002e6ddeb43d1ac6
SHA-1: 495cf642bf73571bca97179e63ab28c88ca2f5f1
Size: 3.79 MB

How to use:
- Extract the archive in a work folder with no space in the path.
- Run the batch file.
- Choose the version you want to use
The script will download the newest JRE automatically. If there is a problem with the download (or if you don't have access to Internet), you can also put the desired version(s) in the script's folder, it will always use the greater version found in the folder.

Notes:
- To avoid errors, the SFX will uninstall any previous Java version(s) newer than JRE 6.0 Update 22 before installing the new one(s).
nLite/RVMi Addons are no longer created
- It's highly recommended to NOT install Java web plugins, they are plagued with many vulnerabilities, but using Java locally is rather safe.
- You can use the uninstall tool for Java to remove (very) old versions.

Old version (for Java 6, 7 and 8 before 8u20)

How to use:

- Download the x86 and/or x64 Offline setup of Java 6/7/8 and put it in the same folder.

The maker will perform an admin install of Java and repack them inside a 7zip SFX.

Notes:
- The install is passive by default, use a switch if you want silent install.
- To avoid errors, the SFX will uninstall any previous Java version(s) newer than JRE 6.0 Update 22 before installing the new one(s).
- Update check and Java quick starter are disabled (JQS doesn't exist in x64 anyway).
- It's highly recommended to NOT install Java web plugins, they are plagued with many vulnerabilities, but using Java locally is rather safe.
- You can use the uninstall tool for Java to remove (very) old versions.
